Our Labrador Dog Avis

Our Labrador Avis has now grown up to become an handsome dog. He is very naughty. He seeks our attention all the times. He loves to play chasing-game. When ever somebody in our family loves him or speaks to him, he takes this as that person's willingness to play chasing-game with him. Immediately he grabs whatever cloth is lying nearby in between his beautiful jaws and begins to run invitingly. The way he runs, taking the cloth between his jaws, is so enchanting that the person can't keep from getting seduced to play with him. Now Avis would run playfully from here to there with a loud expression of happiness in his body language and in his eyes, and the person has to run behind him pretending that he/she wants to pull out the cloth from Avis' jaws. Within a minute into this game and Avis gets so exited that he starts running very fast like a rocket from one end of the house to the other. My God! it is a sight to see the way he runs- from the sofa he runs towards the bed, and while he is still some distance away from the bed he dives in the air like a lion to land in the middle of the bed in one go, once on the bed he would make many interesting gestures to show that he is not going to let that person take the cloth from him, if the person tries to get "alarmingly" close to Avis then suddenly he hops in the air across a long distance to land on the floor some distance away from the bed, from here he excitedly runs like a cheetah toward the balcony, he reaches into the balcony in the blink of an eye, from here he takes a fast turn and almost flies toward the drawing room to again get on to the sofa... this wild running goes on for nearly 5 minutes. Then Mr Avis gets exhausted and abruptly sits on the floor somewhere. Now he would project his tongue out of his widely open mouth, and the sound of his heavy breathing signals that he now wants to relax. We immediately give him water to drink. He gulps a large amount of water and lies at a place of his choice stretching his body to the full. He goes into sleep in this posture very often to recharge his batteries to get up after around one hour to again seduce some one to play chase with him.

Our Labrador Puppy : Avis

Avis is growing up fast. He is very naughty and seeks our continuous attention- if we ignore him, he starts barking aimlessly. Going out to stroll in the morning is something that he likes most. He waits entire night for the breaking of dawn, and the moment he sees the first faintest sunlight in the morning, he starts barking excitedly. He thus forces us to get up early.We take him for a walk. On road he ignores the barking street dogs as if he is not aware of their presence. He likes playing "tug of war" when ever he sees a cloth in our hand. He tries to pull that cloth from our hand by exerting his maximum possible strength. But if we leave that cloth, he too leaves it, as if it was of no use to him.

Our new Labrador puppy

We brought home a new Labrador male puppy on 25th may. It is around 40 days old and black in colour.It is cute and spends time sleeping for greater part of the day. We have named him Avis. We have arranged a big sized rectangular basket for Avis to sleep. My wife has specially laid cloths on the floor of that basket to make a comfortable bed for Avis. Avis plays hard and then on getting tired he dozes on the floor any where in the house.From there we pick him up softly and then we carefully put him in his basket so as to not disturb his sleep.While sleeping he does not pee on his bed. On feeling the pressure he gets up from his sleep, jumps out of the basket and the moving some distance away he pees on the floor.He pees any where and any time, so all of us have to mop his urine up by a mop-cloth many times a day.
Yesterday we were playing with him and he barked for the first time.We all clapped and cheered at his first barking. He -as if taking cue from our clapping- barked many times in his sweet little way.
Presently we are giving him only cerelac(a mixture of cereals, vitamins and other essential nutrients) to eat. He likes it very much. When my wife begins to prepare the cerelac in luke warm water he becomes very exited in the anticipation of getting the food.
